I'm having a hard time even thinking of significant technological breakthroughs from the last 10 years. It seems like we're in an incremental improvement plateau. Someone said mRNA vaccines and that's a good one. "AI" is mostly a grift, but I do like the call screening feature on my Android phone; I basically never get bothered by spam calls anymore, because a robot screens all my calls and doesn't ring my phone unless it's someone I know or the caller can articulate what they want. That's nice I guess.
